I agree, while promising the fastest lap last year was Rosberg's Q3 lap at 1.32.3. I would think that is a more fair comparison than either a car with heavy fuel load and fresh tires or low fuel load and worn tires or just a driver trying to make the tires last. So about 4s behind which is better than the 5s recorded at Jerez.
